Darren Bent - worth every penny

[olaftab]

Probably the best goalscorer i can recall in a Villa shirt
an absolute natural talent, brilliant signing

You obviously didn't see Sammy Morgan

[WikiVilla]

Sorry I forgot about David Geddis

[adrenachrome]

Not to mention Dave Simmons.

worked with him a few years ago, nutcase

[TimTheVillain]

Money VERY well spent, goalscorers are not ten a penny , he's a Villa legend I'm the making .

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Been superb and has brought a massive lift to the team. Scored more than Torres. Suerez and Caroll put together !!! bargain .....

[Somniloquism]

I think most people are pointing to Milner as the exact type of player who would massively improve us. A player who could tie it all together in midfield and attack, not that they think its likely he'll come back.

For what it's worth I think one of, if not both Delph and Gardner will do just as good a job eventually, if not better.

I would like to see them in Midfield for a match when we are safe. If Liverpool can play Spearing and Arsenal can play Wilshere I can't see any reason why we can't introduce Gary into the first team for the last two or three matches.

Been saying it for a long time now but i think Gardner is going to be a massive player. Two feet, 6`1, pace, with a top engine who can score goals. Delph is waiting in the wings to become the new Milner .......

I thought this thread needed to be revisited. What a fucking brilliant signing Darren Bent has been. We need to out the pieces around him now to ensure his goals don't go to waste next season. Top bloke by all accounts, and a top, top striker. Carroll and Torres? Give me Bent any day.

[Olneythelonely]

He is absolutely superb, my favourite Villa player in absolute donkey's years and he's only been here for half a season. Well done Randy and Houllier.

If only we had him for the last three seasons, we'd have been in the Champions League.

[Shaun Teales mom]

Think how many goals bent has scored in a dismall villa, team hopefully we can sign a couple high quality players that can feed bent in the box hes proper class best stricker ive seen at villa''in my time that is''

[Greg N'Ash]

won't see a better example of the striker's trade than Bent today. What we've been missing since we sold Yorke all those years ago.

[Irish villain]

He's what we haev lacked for ages. We will be a threat next season so long as we haev soem creativity to feed him. Even with our crap defence I reckon we'd have had at least10 more points on the board now if we'd had him since August.

[Risso]

I suggested him as my player of the season a few weeks back, and hardly anybody agreed with me.  Anybody disagree now?

I voted Downing due to a complete body of work, but Bent's a bloody good suggestion.
